(Greendale, Ind.) - Work has officially started on an intersection improvement project in Greendale.
Crews are working at the intersection of U.S. 50, State Road 1 (Belleview Drive) and the I-275 on-ramp.
Periodic lane closures and flagging operations will be used on U.S. 50 and S.R. 1 (Belleview Drive) while work is in progress. Work is expected to be complete in late September, weather permitting.
Intersection changes include the following:
- Reducing the ramp from eastbound U.S. 50 to I-275 from two lanes to one lane
- Installing an additional thru lane from southbound S.R. 1 (Belleview Drive) to I-275, resulting in two thru lanes
- Island curb reconfiguration work on U.S. 50
- Installing new pavement markings and permanent signage
These changes are anticipated to help reduce backups and delays along S.R. 1 (Belleview Drive) by allowing more capacity for the thru movement entering I-275. Signage will be placed in the area prior to the start of work.
